Blanketed breathy speak
staggers inaudible,
rolling the thudded thump
of throat lump swallow.
Squinting eyes sear sensation
in addled fret
beyond the fathomable reality of
more than enough.
Here lies the carcass of depth;
rotting in meandering brooks
without wisdom's will to move
night into day.
Senseless blizzard blurs
relentless hailstorm;
pinched and waiting beneath
gauze cloak of
almost see.
